Experiments And Engagement

Sometimes, I just don't know what to do with myself. Then, I remember my big sister. Wow, she really knew how to have fun! You might be picturing loud music, parties, and dancing until the walls shake, right? But her kind of fun was… different. She used to do these experiments at home that made the grown-ups’ hair stand on end – literally and figuratively! She’d play with this stuff, this "melange" as she called it, like she was making a fancy dessert. And she did it all when she was my age.

So, my own fun is pretty tame in comparison. I can play chess, or I can just talk to people. Sometimes I'll strike up a conversation with someone on the street and then, just for my own enjoyment, I'll play a game of chess with them through our words. It's a way to entertain myself, or genuinely learn something new. For now, I don't have a laboratory, not even a photography lab. All that stuff is dismantled and sitting in the basement.
